Stroller wheel material

The stroller I just bought BJ City Micro http://m.target.com/p/babyjoggercitymicrostroller//A14180854 has plastic wheels and I am planning on doing a lot of walking on paved trails when the baby comes. Will this material get dings and make the wheels wobbly? Are rubber wheels better for walking light jogging? Thanks!

You won't be able to run with the city micro or the city mini. They are not jogging strollers. If you want to jog you would need a stroller with big air filled bike tires.
Hard rubber tires would do fine on pavement or walking over gravel occasionally so I doubt the wheels would become wobbly from that.

I don't have that stroller but prolonged walking with a plastic wheeled stroller isn't super comfortable. It's just nowhere near as smooth of a ride as rubber. I believe the City Micro is more like a glorified umbrella stroller, which isn't bad but might just not be what you're looking for. I have the Baby Jogger City Elite and love it for outside walking. It's good on and off trails and has a incredibly smooth ride. My son loves it and it's great to push. However, it's no good for mall trips or anywhere that requires smaller maneuvering so I have a second smaller stroller for that but I use the BJ whenever I can.
